Birthday Month Visit 7/14/2014 With Carri And Greg (Page Two)
We have walked for two hours so it is time to refuel at the Rose Team Room. Perhaps some champagne?
Filler up!
The fearsome foursome!
"I will behave.... Sort of!"
Carri gots the tickels again!
Our waiter knew us.... When we showed up he ran into the back room!
Delicious groceries
OK... Move'm out... Next destination... Japanese gardens
The bridge is in excellent condition
Don't be Koi
Green everywhere
The restoration of the house sure shows
Greg and Sue do a wisteria examination
Did You Know? - Wisteria (also spelled Wistaria or Wysteria) is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing vines native to the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan. Some species are popular ornamental plants, especially in China and Japan.
Tradition always places a sitting lion at the entrance to the gardens!
Greg strolls the gardens... Getting ideas for his garden?
The bamboo sure provides protection
An amazing plant

The sitting lion
Another few months and they will be bright yellow
"Where are we going next??"
The Zen Garden
Hey guys... A Bonzi Fox!
Greg looks for a signal?
Tiny figs anyone??
The fruit looks full sized
A story is forthcoming
The garden is still expanding
"What... We have to walk some more?"
"This is just plain pretty"
OK... We are ready to go
Into the jaws of the famous bamboo plant
It's dark in here
The new buildings look great
Someone is about to crack a joke.... Standby
The guilty party
There she goes
The seat needs seat belts
Full 100% giggle underway
"Stop it... Stop it... I can't take anymore"
Sue takes it all in
More buildings
The front side of water
The back side of water
The photographers are busy
A new rest room... We gotta try it
So peaceful
The lake was calm
The blossoms were magnificent
Amazing colors
It was hotter and more humid inside... We did not stay long
We did rest however
So pretty
You could stare at them for hours
Zot... We be gone
